    When you step on the brake pedal are both calipers clamping?

    My truck was doing something similar and the bolts on my lbj were lose. Might wanna give everything in the front end a once over especially since you just rebuilt it.

    As far as I know they are. I will say that if I jam on the brakes the truck changes lanes. If I slowly clamp down it mostly stops straight.

    I guess, I mean there is no rust or damage or anything that I can see.

    I agree I should have done a better job at this when I refreshed everything. I need to finish adjusting the parking brake as well. Its on my list for this weekend.

    Thats a good call, I did find a loose sway bar end link a couple weeks ago so I will give it a once over.

    No worries, diagnosing things takes time, am I correct first time 100% of the time, hell no, but after testing I know what it isnt and sometimes thats more important to figuring out what it is. Too many Y branches and have taken the wrong path... just wait until the new part you put in is just as bad or worse than the known bad part you just replaced.
